A HEART OF GRATITUDE by Hector Perez

THE CELEBRATION OF THANKSGIVING COMES AND GOES,
WATCHING FOOTBALL AND EATING TURKEY WHICH CAUSES ME TO DOZE.

BUT THIS YEAR, I WILL CHOOSE TO EMBRACE A DIFFERENT ART,
SINGING PRAISES TO GOD FOR HIS NUMBERLESS BLESSINGS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART.

I WON’T FALL PREY TO THIS WORLD’S VORTEX OF DISSATISFACTION,

THAT PROMOTES CEASELESS DISCONTENT AND EXTERNAL ATTRACTION.

NO MATTER IF I HAVE LITTLE OR SUFFER LOSS THROUGH CALAMITY,
I WILL THANK THE LORD FOR THE TREASURE OF FAMILY.

I'LL SEE EVERY SETBACK I FACE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW,
IN LOVE, MERCY, AND FAITH, SO GRATITUDE FOREVER FLOWS.

I'LL THANK FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO LEND ME A HELPING HAND,
FOR THEIR LOVE AND COMPASSION THAT HAVE HELP ME STAND.

STARTING TODAY, I’LL ADOPT A HEART OF GRATITUDE,
FOR IT'S THE SECRET FORMULA TO MY  LIFE’S ALTITUDE.


IN GRATITUDE'S EMBRACE, MY SOUL WILL REJOICE AND FIND THE WAY,  

WITH A GRATEFUL HEART LIKE JESUS,      I'LL SOAR AND SEIZE THE DAY!

PIERCING THE DARKNESS by Hector Perez (My Story of Faith)

Life’s dark clouds often obscure the LIGHT, Only momentary for those who have heavenly sight. Relentless storms will seek to rattle your soul,  But nothing can stop you from pursuing God's imperative goal. The wick of hope flickers in times of dread, But the fire of hope shall not be doused in those who are Christ-led.  Deep darkness, ONE who descends truly knows, JESUS comes to save you from the power of death and makes your life aglow.

21st BIRTHDAY POEM FOR MY DAUGHTER, Anna August 4, 2008

From a baby until now, you are my precious shining star, Who delights my heart from afar. Your smile, so bright fills my heart aglow, For I've seen how you prevailed through the many highs and frequent lows. You've suffered as a youth with so much pain, But always remember my precious princess that your suffering is not in vain. Just as the sun rises day after day, Embrace the truth that God is present at your side to give you a steadfast heart that is not frayed. God will strengthen your faith so keep running the race ahead, Embracing the eternal hope He gives you with wings outspread. I bless your 21 st  birthday with tears of gladness, Forever thanking our Heavenly Father for His promise to wipe away every tear of sadness! I LOVE you Anna, Daddy.
